The Knapdale estate was shown as in the possession of George Turner in 1792 and 1792 and in possession of attorneys for George Turner in 1799. It appears likely that he was mortgagee or creditor, since before and after this period the estate was shown as belonging to Duncan Campbell and then to heirs of Duncan Campbell. The association of the George Turner of this estate with George Turner of Hawkhurst is tentative and is based on George Turner of Hawkhurst owning two other estates in St Ann as this time, Topolski and Queenhithe.
